The frequency of sexual imagery outside of sexual behavior was assessed. In addition, an attempt was made to determine the viability of a distinction between internally generated sexual thoughts (fantasy) and externally provoked sexual thoughts (urge). After a 3-day practice period, 49 male and 47 female heterosexual undergraduates self-monitored the frequency of fantasies, urges, and masturbatory fantasies for 7 consecutive days. The most significant finding was that men reported a significantly greater frequency of sexual urges and masturbatory fantasies than women. No gender differences emerged with respect to fantasies. These findings suggest that a distinction between internally and externally generated sexual imagery is viable and may be useful in future studies examining the frequency, functions, and determinants of sexual imagery.
对性行为之外的性意象出现频率进行了评估。此外，还尝试确定区分内在产生的性想法（幻想）和外在引发的性想法（冲动）的可行性。在为期3天的练习期后，49名男性和47名女性异性恋本科生连续7天自我监测幻想、冲动和自慰幻想的出现频率。最显著的发现是，男性报告的性冲动和自慰幻想出现频率显著高于女性。在幻想方面未出现性别差异。这些发现表明，区分内在和外在产生的性意象是可行的，并且可能对未来研究性意象的出现频率、功能和决定因素有用。
